Safety Messages Electric Shock Hazards Generator Damage Hazards Generator produces powerful voltage that can cause death or great physical harm. • When using generator for backup power, notify utility company. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from electric utility. • NEVER connect to a building's electrical system unless a transfer switch has been installed by a qualified electrician. • NEVER touch bare wires or receptacles. • NEVER use generator with electrical cords that are worn, frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged. • NEVER operate generator in rain or snow, or when the generator is set on wet surface. Fire and Burn Hazards Improper treatment or misuse of generator can cause permanent damage. • NEVER tamper with governed speed. Generator sup- plies correct rated frequency and voltage when running at governed speed. • NEVER modify generator in any way. • Damage to generator caused by misuse or modification is not covered under Warranty. Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. • Refuel generator only outdoors, in a well-ventilated area. • NEVER enclose the generator in any structure. • Keep generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings and other equipment during operation. • NEVER fill fuel tank while the engine is running. Turn generator OFF and allow to cool before filling with fuel. • NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near the gen- erator or where gasoline is stored. • NEVER overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely. • Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, be sure the area is dry before starting the engine. • Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor. The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. • NEVER touch hot surfaces and avoid hot gases. • Let engine cool before storing the generator indoors. 2 www.honeywellgenerators.com HW7500E Portable Generator Owner's Manual
